Re: 2011 US Open Day 15 OoP & Discussion

So where's her venom for Mike Bryan or Philip Petzschner? Mike Bryan went beyond words, allegedly. He put his hand(s) on an official. Petzschner did something that could conceivably have hurt someone.

To be clear, Serena's behavior WAS unacceptable. But then it has to be unacceptable for men, too. Otherwise, it's a sexist point of view on the part of Mary Carillo that reinforces that machismo among guys is fine but women should have to conform to an unequal standard. That's just not right. Condemn it all, regardless of the perpetrator. Or say nothing.

Based on the amounts of the fines, the USTA seems to have it in good perspective, or at least close. Mary's missing the boat and grinding the ax of her choosing.

But during the interview she wasn't asked about Bryan or Petzschner. She was asked about Serena and the incident yesterday.

I don't know if you listened to the interview, but she also called Serena "a remarkable talent" and "a great champion". She said she's happy that Serena is healthy again and that the sport needs her.
